Social housing and estate programmes for Peebles properties
Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Peebles (EH45) and nearby Galashiels and Hawick. It is roughly 15 miles west of Galashiels.
Per-address photo records for Peebles properties make compliance files and EPC updates straightforward. Blocks of flats in Peebles are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. The Scottish Borders has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
For regulations, in Peebles no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
